Looking to buy a very good Windows mobile fone
Suggest me - xperia - HTD HD - Omnia?
I personally like Xperia
my preferences are
keyboard, big screen[resolution]
Edit
so now I am confused between HTC HD and Xperia
Xperia plus points
[1] Panel interface
[2] its stylist
[3] Physical Keyboard
[4] Better talking time
[5] Cheaper price [I can get it much cheaper.. according to ebay auctions]
HTC HD plus points
[1] Bigger Screen
[2] 5MB camera [but no flash so no use for me though]

HD has no flash for camera and no keyboard.. any one can please explain my how HD is better than Xperia?
non of them have flash for camera but some do have a led for camera but that's in a different league then real flash a much lower leagure at that
xda hd is better if one want a thiner device and no keyboard and like touch 3d
I recently was in the same boat and had the same selections as you. I opted for the omnia, first one I recieved I bricked trying to flash the official uk rom update downloaded directly from samsung site. The 2nd (still going) I nearly bricked again trying the same rom flash and ended up flashing a custom rom to recover it. There are quite a few owners having problems flashing roms (official ones mainly) over at modaco.
Overall the phone is pretty much the same, speed wise, as my trinity. I was swung to it by the memory size.
The gps works fine now I've done a tweak (again from modaco) and overall its a bit better than my old trinity (camera knocks spots off htc one).
Its a bit of a pain not being able to "see" some of my favorite software properly due to the unconventional screen size.
If I had tried an experia I might before taking the plunge I might have made a different choice.

SE Xperia is a great device, i have been using it much and got it couple of months ago.
being a developer my self helped me getting the max out of this great device.
i will really never replace it with anything else.
very reliable and trustworthy, good build quality and great design.
i say SE Xperia X1
good luck in your choice.
Well what is xperia missing that HD has without the keyboard?... and the answer is *drumb tap* g-sensor... well my opinion is that if you don't need g-senor but would like a hardwarekeyboard the go for xperia.. well i wanted both features of xperia and HD, well both of the have bigger screen than Raphael but Raphael was my final choice and i do not regret it any time .. well i suggest you to go throguh some youtube videos with unboxing and user experience and check some applications both have and so forth..
My 2 cents, just MHO:
XPERIA X1 beats any current device because:
1- Beautiful blend between hightech and artwork
2- Beautiful blend between SONY and HTC
3- Beautiful WVGA 800x640 Sony screen (bye bye HTC Raphael/Touch Pro)
4- Cool metal case in two colours (aurevoir HTC diamond)
5- Useful hardware keyboard (so long HTC Touch HD)
6- Windows Mobile inside a Sony !! LOTS of apps and tweaks available (ciao iPhone)
7- The biggest ammount of RAM currently available
8- Sony Panels interface plus the abitlity to add TouchFlo3D as another panel
9- microSD card slot up to 16GMB (and 32GB soon)
10- Long lasting big battery, bigger than many others
11- Small and comfortable form factor (not as thick as Tytn or Touch Pro)
12- Etc etc etc
You get a great Phone from Sony Ericsson, a portable office from Microsoft, a Walkman from Sony and worldwide connectivity (choose from X1a or X1i) from HTC-qualcomm
What else do you want ??
thx gtrab your post helped me lot
can you tell me.. really it support 16GB card? cool
when do you think 32gb will be available..
and if I purchase now.. these days.. this production is more stable? or should I wait more?

Dunno when, mid year maybe
Go for a 16GB one, you wont regret, they cost around $55 on ebay and they are worth every penny

No mate I meant about Xperia itself.. it supports 16GB now right? What I am asking is.. when new version of Xeria comes which will support 32GB, Actully 16GB also more than I need but just asking.
Does Xperia has stable version now? I saw couple of sellers who sells Xperia within $700 on Ebay. Are they stable versions?
its very simple for me, do you want a device that won't hardware fail on you within a year or not? If you want it to last more than a year then don't buy HTC (which includes experia).
EVERY HTC device I have owned has been back for at least one warranty repair. These include a Blueangel, TyTN, TyTN2 and .... actually i lied, my Touch Diamond is now in a draw - broken.
edit: Sorry, should make it clear. My 16gig Omnia, with its extra 16gig card, is working like a dream with no signs of any hardware failures. HTC, awesome specs .... crap build quality. All of this ofc, is in my experience.

Then the Omnia is NOT the choice of phone for you as a; it doesn't have a keyboard and b;its a low res. Shame, really as the low res screen has two BIG advantages - 1 its fast as f*&k and 2 it uses far less battery.
Be sure if you are going to buy the XPeria to check out DEFECTS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447211
It seems, HTC made the same mistake with the Universal. I voted for the Xperia, because of the keyboard.
Oh my days ........ that is very shocking . (Well, actually, given who make it, no its not at all)
And the case for the prosecution rests your honor.
Buy HTC manufactured devices at your peril.......

so you are saying No HTC phone is good? No Windows mobile phone is good[most of Win mobos are by HTC!)? What I should do if I want a Win Mobo?
Hi everyone
I'm about purchasing a new cellphone but I can not make a decision .
So Which one do you choose as a better phone in all aspects?
HD2 or Desire or SE Xperia X10
First and most important decision is Windows Mobile or Android or doesn't matter ? Are you going to have to work with it or just pleasure ?

I wanna work with it for pleasure, infact Winmo has this advantage to be modified whenever I want and that's really good about winmo but in the other hand X10 or desire sport better screens especially x10 has 8 mp camera and these are my reasons to not to make decision.
My expectations:
1.being fast
2.satisfactory screen for watching movies
3.good camera
4.interesting programs and changeable interface

if you mean this one, it requires some hardware.. a dedicated stethoscope! the only function of the app is to record the stethoscope input... since it costs some hundreds $, it's better to buy another digital stethoscope that is PC compatible
What you think? Does it works with other Android Phone beside SE Phones?
I would post the Link to the Product, but i cant, as a new User i cant post Outside Links

I've posted a link to this in the SE Xperia Play Accessory forum
I'll be buying when it comes out
Tried Shure M115+ and Phonak Perfect Bass (with mic) they both come up as unsupported accessory
Update: Ooooh, available in OZ:
http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/174831/MOBILE_PHONES_ALL/Sony_Ericsson/1252-5497.asp
Ok Australia is a little bit far away
And wow, its also a bit expensive, what you think?
I'll happily spunk 100 quid on decent headphones, those are priced at £58 and I've asked if they a: have them in stock (could be lying) and b: how much to ship to UK
If you get one, i would be happy if you write a small review and tell if it works with the Sensation )

Happily but I have a SE Xperia Play so couldnt say if they will work with an HTC
Do you have Friends with a HTC Device?
Hello!
Here the price to extend 1yr contract is the same for ChaCha & Xperia Mini Pro.
The latter might be a bit better in specs, but it's plagued with that 'electrostatic noise' problem which (probably) won't be solved just by software update.
I do not care much about multimedia stuff, games, GPS...mostly need good phone, capable email client (probably we'd install K9), some Skype voip calls etc.
No need for Facebook & Twitter...
What do you suggest: to wait a bit to see what effect might software update have on noise problem in Xperia or to jump straight to ChaCha?

Well what I can tell is that I've had a Xperia x10 Mini Pro (Which probably is much in the same style) and typing on it was far from being a pleasure. I have heard good things about the keyboard on the chacha, but I can't confirm since I've never used the phone.
If really all you want to is skype voice calls and emailing I'd actually recommend a Nokia or WinMO phone with a hardware keyboard, for typing on them will sure be easier. And you also could, if you prefer android, see if you can afford a HTC Desire Z or Motorola Droid/Milestone 1/2/3.

Yeah, hearing about all the 'noise' in connection with Xperia, I'm more & more thinking to forget it.

Heh, I can say that in the beginning I was thinking about Nokia E5.
As far as WinMO, I'm avoiding 'em (similarly to Apple stuff) just on the principle.
Moreover, I'd like to able to sync my contacts/phonebook data with Linux desktop machine.

The 'sliding' mechanism on Desire Z does not look convincing to me and the latter is not available here...Moreover, they're much more expensive.
Thank you for your input.
HTC Chacha has a better keyboard.
but X mini pro has better processor if i'm not wrong. i think is 1Gbz as chacha is 800Mhz.

yay, that s it.
I can confirm this, Chacha has a far better keyboard. It also feels much more solid.
I'm no user of sliding physical keyboard because those are easy breakable so I would not buy an Xperia Mini Pro.
The resolution of the ChaCha is a little bit higher and that its an advantage in watching YouTube videos, playing games or browsing webpages with plenty of static images.
The stock rom, Gingerbread 2.3.3, it's ok but with the HTC Sense, is painful. You don't get enough free space in internal storage for instaling apps. In mine I have ~ 40 apps and the critical memory warning pops up every day. Writing an email or an SMS it's pleasing. The space withing the keys makes writing very natural. About gaming and stuff, I can tell you that Fruit Ninja and Angry birds are working great.
Wi-fi and cell network signal are good, no problem with bluetooth accesories like handsfree and the camera does the job.
You probably use the phone the same as I do. The games I play are Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds, and they run smoothly. The keyboard is totally awesome, better than any sliding-keyboard phone.
Chacha is better
I think chacha is better. The xperia has a rather small screen, which is not comfortable to type on the screen. But when you use keyboard, it is rather large~
